Secret Liaison Hideaway Airspace (amœba joinery simple growth)

Greeted by coincidentally laid-on festivities, coming out into the light of day, finding their way back the way they came, the visitors return, many times over at that (having seen all the sights there are to be seen).

Perfectly completing everything, thrown in for good measure, (with lifeboats, cabins, gangways and engine rooms), with a touch of stern fortress, naval port and aircraft carrier battleship, but fallen ancient civilisation and empire, throwback to advanced, seaside holiday resort popular entertainment venue and open-air swimming-baths, all in all. To happily drift, float, ramble, swim and waft about in, extracted from their natural habitat, preserved inside clear blue sky, housing the only ever known real live feint clouds to be held in captivity, ultimate jewel in the crown is a vivarium tank. Beamed through 4-sided tubular chutes, ducts and pipes, a mesh of strategically positioned grills channel traffic of cargo deliveries to order and commuters on pilgrimage alike. Far exceeding capacity of actual size limits, consumed and taken up by impenetrable obstacle races and assault courses, every space. Behind wafer thin partitions, while whole wide continents are walled-up in cramped cupboards, the most unfathomably deep of walls contain narrow and low mouse-holes.

With many intermediate transitional landmarks and milestones along the way (whatever unfindable however that turns out to be), helpfully indicated and pointed out clearly by everywhere else, meandering and digressing direction and route arrives at terminal destination of arrow shaped room somewhere. All opening inwards onto somewhere far larger than enclosure occupied, each frame touching onto the next one, usually tending to be more or less 3 doors, the movable and itinerant centre can and will end up anywhere. Everywhere turns up unexpectedly anyway, because sooner or later, so is getting lost, but then again, getting to or simply pinpointing anywhere is impossible. But completely unclear as to how or why, everywhere leads towards and connects up with somewhere else, one way or another. Then leave to go somewhere else, approach and linger awhile, entrances, exits and the places themselves. Take in everywhere slowly and go nowhere fast, climb up and down stairs, pass through moving monastic hospital corridors and tunnels, always on the move, shift in transit, travel about, all chambers and their contents. Long very for still stays or way same the remains ever that nowhere is there. Finite end to it all or happy ever after, middle somewhere in between, was not and never will be any beginning to start with, there is no, around here.

The housing that shows off these treasures, valeted for conversion as cabinet niche and display vitrines, tool-kit cases transfer into fireplace hearths. Providing raw material reserves and specialist equipment with which to draw, engrave, sculpt and paint one marvel after another; loosening gaseous and liquid powdered gold, as they do so, unearth and revive fossil fuel light, motion and sound sources, members of both personnel stumble upon, that whole episode got out of the way and put behind them. Without incident, fortunately, introduce themselves and are brought together, they meet up, half-way between. Neighbours their up clean and out dig involved sides different two the. Pitted at complete odds against the other, despite each serving cross-purposes, at the same time, nearby, unaware of what the others are doing, these separate parties carry on regardless. Heading straight ahead towards same direction, tunnelling through, cut, bore, pound, grind and hack, chisel, file, hammer, pickaxe, hatchet, shovel, drill and saw, coming from opposite end. Atmosphere through slice and thick on it lay blades flat. Mixed up with still more to fortify, build and make new, harvested and earns interest to be spread and rubbed back in, ensuing produce is gathered up. While sink plunger unblocks plumbing and drainage; then mop and bucket to wash and polish, for sponge to soak up and towelling to dry out; rough scouring pads and harsh detergents thoroughly scrub them down; stuck onto mid and thin air worktop surfaces, scrape off and clear away protectively layered coatings of dirt, left behind, broom, dustpan with brush and feather-duster sweep up. Laying down the foundations and paving the way forwards, still are and ever will be by spring-cleaning operation, has always been, original discovery and ongoing reinvention was.

Also, curves, arcs and circles, sometimes; as well as cubic and rectangular holes and lumps; each single one of them, grown out of, built up from, broken down as, cut up into and taken apart leaving triangular gaps and solid wedges; before ending up staying like that forever; agreeing to recline and lie flat down backwards; all of their sides, heads and toes touching onto and joined with those of the rest; opaque filled in conservatory, hollowed out crystal mountain, resinous jelly great pyramid and upholstered marquee tent (lop-sided, asymmetrically irregular and the whole lot) once crossed paths and came together; for, as age-old legend has it (this very day re-enacts itself to time-honoured tradition), this was the very spot where.

Just what the doctor ordered all along, yet it all turns out to be the very breakthrough needed. They arrive at entirely the wrong address, misdirections and changes of plans, after many false starts, having no goal or mission to begin with. Helping them find their way back to drawing-board square-one again afterwards, laying snail-trail of cords behind them, all roped together so they don’t lose track of each other, intrepid expedition committee sets out on a mystery quest.

생각을 빚다


개념의 형상화… 조각가 정서영씨 전시


▲ ▲조각가 정서영씨가 서울 신사동 아틀리에 에르메스에서 자신의 작품‘거위’(왼쪽) 옆에 앉았다.


들어온 쪽 맞은 편으로 난 또 다른 흰 문을 열고 나가면, 유리벽을 통해 햇볕이 스며드는 나무 마루 위에 2m 짜리 인조 파초를 여러 개 꽂은 둥근 시멘트 덩어리가 놓여있다.
‘1년에 한번은 치워야 할 것’이라는 제목이 달려있다.
“어려서 흙 장난 할 때, 흙 더미를 쌓아 무엇인가를 만들고, 나뭇가지를 꽂아 아무 것도 아닌 것을 ‘완성’한 것을 자축하고, 돌아서서 잊어버리던” 작가의 기억이 스며있는 작품이다.
그 옆엔 작가의 공책에 적힌 길이 4㎝ 짜리 의미 없는 낙서를 4.6m 크기로 확대한 뒤, 그 모양 그대로 반 뼘 높이 알루미늄 틀을 만들어 모래를 채운 ‘정오에서 자정까지’가 놓여있다.
한 평론가는 정씨를 두고 “구체적인 사물이 아니라, 인간의 머리 속에 존재하는 ‘개념’을 조각으로 만드는 작가”라고 말했다.
가령 ‘거위’는 이 세상에 살아있는 특정한 진짜 거위가 아니라, “우리들이 ‘거위’라고 생각하는 무엇인가의 표상”이라는 얘기다.
생전 눈(目) 싸움으로는 남과 겨뤄 져 본 일이 없을 듯한 눈동자로 전시장을 둘러보면서 정씨는 “무슨 뜻일까, 생각하며 보지 말아달라”고 말했다. “작품이 무슨 뜻인지, 어떤 의미인지, 정답을 찾으려고 궁리하지 말아주세요.
사물 하나 하나가 무엇인가를 상징하고 은유한다고 지레 믿지 말아주세요. 그보다는 작가가 작품을 ‘어떻게’ 다뤘는지, ‘왜’ 그렇게 했는지 궁금해하면서 봐주시면 좋겠어요.” 정씨는 “가끔, 대중과 소통하는 능력이 내 세포엔 없나 봐, 싶다”고 말했다.
“작가마다 집중하는 부분이 달라요. 내가 집중하는 부분, 구체적으로 생생하게 느끼는 어떤 영역이 다른 작가나 대중과 공유할 수 없는 영역일 수도 있어요.”
“그래서 외롭냐”고 묻자 정씨는 “외롭죠, 그렇지만 외롭다고 쓰지 마세요” 했다.
“왜요?” 하고 되묻자, 그녀는 진지한 얼굴로 “쿨한 척 하려구요” 했다.

Apple vs. Banana


ABOUT THE ARTIST
Chung Seoyoung is one of the most important artists of her generation in Korea.
Major shows include
2000 solo-show at Artsonje Center, Seoul
2003 in the Korean Pavilion, Venice Biennale
2007 solo-show at Atelier Hermès, Seoul
2009 Gwangju Biennale
ABOUT 'APPLE VS. BANANA'
Chung Seoyoung works deal pragmatically and humorously with the grotesque choices in our life. The title 'Apple vs. Banana' derives from the common choice of dietary fiber vs. carbohydrate, one of the endless ironies in modern-day. What´s better? Both are the best!
In this show Chung Seoyoung accentuates the bland, taking away the details and leaving less than more, producing a range of sober, pure and obviously inexpressive works of art.
Chung Seoyoung built a set of objects: tables, a light bulb, a kitchenette, an aquarium, a spot, and snowballs constructing a certain encompassing physical and organizational structure in the model apartments.
ABOUT KIM KIM GALLERY
Right from the start we envisioned KIM KIM GALLERY as an artwork, or rather the gallery in general as a form of art and KIM KIM GALLERY as a transmutation of this idea.
KIM KIM GALLERY inhabits given structures like galleries, art centers, shops and art fairs, structures more or less connected to the art world, parasitically or symbiotically using the infrastructures of these spaces with a simultaneously commercial and artistic intent.
KIM KIM GALLERY intends to create a platform for art, reinventing itself as art each time.
KIM KIM GALLERY was founded by Gregory Maass and Nayoungim on the occasion of a solo-show at the Market Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland in 2008.
The title of the show was „KIM KIM GALLERY'.
The exhibition consisted of empty illuminated billboards in the shapes of the letters K, I, and M and giant punch cards.
The name of the gallery derives from the Glaswegian Mary Mary Gallery, which started as a bedroom gallery and became successful. The family name Kim is the most common surname in Korea (over 40% of Korea´s population is called Kim).
The second KIM KIM GALLERY took place at Ro-bert™ in Berlin, Germany.
The third KIM KIM GALLERY took place at Gallery Shilla, Deagu, Korea.

ABOUT HYUNDAI CULTURAL CENTER:
Hyundai Group was founded as a construction company, which rapidly achieved legendary status. These legendary times live on in the second sublevel of the Hyundai Cultural Center in Seoul, where KIM KIM GALLERY occupies two model apartments from the early 90s. Chung Seoyoung and KIM KIM GALLERY have a different history and needs, which creates an amplification of the creative output in these premises of another époque.

Apple vs. Banana Press Release

Kim Kim Gallery Presents
Chung Seoyoung Solo Exhibition

전시명: <사과 vs. 바나나> 정서영 개인전
기간: 2011년 6월 1일 ~ 6월 30일 (월-금 오후 12-3시)
오픈닝: 2011년 5월 31일 화요일 오후 6시

장소: 현대문화센터 (서울시 종로구 계동 140-2)
주최: 킴킴 갤러리 (Kim Kim Gallery)
후원: 현대종합상사

킴킴 갤러리의 4번째 전시, <사과 vs. 바나나> 정서영 개인전이 2011년 6월 1일부터 6월 30일까지 계동 현대문화센터에서 열린다.

킴킴 갤러리는 2008년 듀오 작가 김나영과 그레고리 마스가 창립한 갤러리이자 미술작업이다. 킴킴 갤러리는 일정한 공간 없이 기획의도에 따라 예측불허의 장소와 전시형식을 시도하며, 이를 통해 현대미술의 구조에 개입한다. 오늘날 미술과 사회의 관계변화에 대한 실용주의적인 접근으로, 기존의 전시 방법과 미술의 경제 구조에 질문을 던지고 “비정규 마켓팅 Unconventional Marketing” 전략으로 그 해결점을 찾고자 하며, 이에 따른 독립성과 효율성을 지향한다. 킴킴 갤러리는 2008년 글라스고의 마켓 갤러리에서 갤러리 개관전, 2009년 베를린의 패션 브랜드인 Rob-ert 쇼룸과 대구의 신라 갤러리에서 게릴라 전시를 하였고, <사과 vs. 바나나>는 킴킴 갤러리의 서울 데뷰전이다.

작가 정서영(1964년생)은 2000년 아트선재센터의 개인전 이후, 2003년 베니스 비엔날레 한국관 전시, 2007년 아뜰리에 에르메스 개인전 및 2008년 광주 비엔날레 참가 등 국내외 주요 전시에서 한국 현대미술의 대표주자로 활동해 왔다.

북촌과 비원 사이에 위치한 현대문화센터는 예식장과 부대시설을 갖추고 있으며, 지하에는 아파트 모델하우스 두채 (24평과 33평)가 남아있다. 킴킴 갤러리는 한 기업의 개척정신과 아파트 신화에 대한 시대적 로망이 남아있는 특수한 공간에서 정서영 개인전을 유치함으로서, 장소성과 작품 사이의 색다른 시너지를 유발하고자 한다. 킴킴 갤러리, 작가 정서영 그리고 현대문화센터는 개별적으로 구축된 역사 위에 서로 다른 필요와 소통 방법을 가지는데, 이는 전시안에서 편리공생하는 관계가 된다.

<사과 vs. 바나나>라는 제목은 식이요법의 통상적인 표현에서 기인한다. 식이섬유 또는 탄수화물 중에 무엇을 선택할것인가 라는 문제를 제기하는데, 이는 현대사회식의 우스꽝스러운 선택인 한편 인생의 중요한 질문이기도 하다. 일상이 마치 권투 경기처럼 치열한 오늘날, 우리는 사과 또는 바나나 중에 무엇이 더 우수한가라는 식의 대결에 불씨를 당기는데, 답은 물론 둘다 최고이다. (어떤 치약이 좋냐고 물어본다면 모두 같다가 답: 이를 닦는다는 것이 중요한 문제인 것이다.) 또한 사과와 바나나는 서로 대립하고 있는듯 하지만, 양자 모두가 소비가능하다는 실용적이고 유머스런 해결방법을 찾을 수도 있다.

<사과 vs. 바나나>에서는 less than more (더는것이 더하는 것이라는)를 지향하는 작가의 관찰력에서 시작된, 사물의 디테일을 뭉뚱그린 소박하고 순수한 작품 세계를 선보인다. 세부사항이 제거된 산업적 아파트의 모델하우스 내부에, 작가는 테이블, 싱크대, 수족관, 세월의 흔적을 남긴 얼룩 그리고 눈덩이와 같은 중립적이고 수공예적인 오브제들을 설치한다. 이 각각의 사물들은 눈에 잘 띄지 않는다는 공통점을 가지고 있다. 하지만 아파트 모델하우스라는 생경한 공간에서 그들은 스스로의 논리로 생존방식을 터득하고 있는데, 이 지점이 작가의 공간에 대한 관찰력과 사물에 대한 응집력이 만나는 곳이다.

<사과 vs. 바나나>전은 평일(월-금) 12시- 3시까지 전시관람 가능하고, 오전시간은 개인 혹은 단체를 위한 예약제로 운영된다.

Kim Kim Gallery is pleased to announce the fourth exhibition, , a solo exhibition of Chung, Seoyoung from 1st to 30rd of June, 2011 at Hyundai Cultural Center in Seoul, Korea.

KIM KIM GALLERY was founded by Gregory Maass and Nayoungim on the occasion of a solo-show at the Market Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland in 2008. Kim Kim Gallery is a locative artwork, which parasites on existing exhibition spaces, ranging from museums and galleries to model apartments and art fair stands. Kim Kim Gallery´s methods of mad marketing, and activity of displaying, production, and acquisition of art are considered individual forms of artistic expressions by the owners. The objective of this work is to show flexible alternatives to the common ways to propagate art and to become object of a discussion.

The second KIM KIM GALLERY took place at Ro-bert™ in Berlin, Germany and the third at Gallery Shilla, Deagu, Korea.

Chung Seoyoung is one of the most important artists of her generation in Korea.
Major shows include a solo-exhibition at Artsonje Center, Seoul (2000), a group-exhibition at the Korean Pavilion, Venice Biennale (2003), a solo-exhibition at Atelier Hermès, Seoul (2007) and the Gwangju Biennale (2008).

Hyundai Group was founded as a construction company, which rapidly achieved legendary status. These legendary times staid alive in the second sublevel of the Hyundai Cultural Center in Seoul, where KIM KIM GALLERY occupies two model apartments from the early 90s. Chung Seoyoung and KIM KIM GALLERY have different history and needs, which build a potentialization of the creative output in these premises from another époque.

Chung Seoyoung works pragmatically and humorously with the grotesque choices in daily modern life.
The title “Apple vs. Banana” derives from the common dietary choice of fibre or carbohydrate, one of the endless ironies in modern life. What´s better? Both are the best.

In this show Chung Seoyoung accentuates the bland, taking away the details and leaving less than more, producing a range of sober, pure and obviously inexpressive works of art. She displays tables, a lightbulb, a kitchenet, an aquarium, a spot, and snowballs, not too prominently exhibited but important reference points.
Chung Seoyoung built artworks constructing an infrastructure of logic.
